He panics and flees, and the figure gives chase. As he walks back to the enclosure, he suddenly realises he is being followed by a figure in the jungle. While he wanders, he comes upon a group of people who seem human but have an unmistakable resemblance to swine. Prendick gathers that Moreau is performing a painful experiment on the animal, and its anguished cries drive Prendick out into the jungle. The next day, Moreau begins working on a puma. Prendick remembers that he has heard of Moreau, formerly an eminent physiologist in London whose gruesome experiments in vivisection had been publicly exposed, and who fled England as a result of his exposure. As ships rarely pass the island, Prendick will be housed in an outer room of an enclosed compound. Seeing that the captain has abandoned Prendick, Montgomery takes pity and rescues him. Despite this, the captain leaves Prendick in a dinghy and sails away. Montgomery explains that he will not be able to host Prendick on the island.

As they approach the island, Montgomery’s destination, the captain demands Prendick leave the ship with Montgomery. The ship is transporting a number of animals which belong to Montgomery. Prendick also meets a grotesque bestial native named M'ling, who appears to be Montgomery’s manservant. A passing ship called Ipecacuanha takes him aboard, and a man named Montgomery revives him.
